Editors' Review

Super Utilities Pro performs all sorts of tasks, from cleaning your Registry to protecting against spyware to wiping away your Internet tracks. Privacy Protector lets you hide or lock folders, clean your system tracks, password-protect applications that hold sensitive data, quickly and securely delete files, and hide IE Favorites and Start menu items from view. System Maintenance includes Task Manager-like functions, Internet Explorer customization tools, valuable system information, and utilities for tweaking Windows. With the Special Tools module, you can schedule shutdown times, locate and back up your drivers, identify space-hogging folders, and modify the Super Utilities context-menu options. System Cleaner features a handful of tools for cleaning your disk and the Registry and for performing routine maintenance tasks.

The latest addition to this program is the Security Doctor module, which provides a number of tools for keeping malware at bay. The scanner was fast and mostly accurate, though it unfortunately detected a few false positives. We like the tool for removing problematic BHOs; we also like the start-up manager, which is under the Security Doctor heading. In the end, Super Utilities Pro seems ideal for those seeking to retain their privacy and to keep their PCs in good running condition.

Special tools let you schedule shutdown times, locate and back up your drivers, and identify space-hogging folders.

It shows where you might have problems but it does not let you clean or fix anything in the trial mode, so how can you evaluate it.

Cons

limited trial version

Summary

This program offers 30 day free trial but nothing can be fixed or cleaned on the trial version. Every time you click on anything to be fixed or clean it says this can't be done with the trial version, "Would you like to buy the full version now?"What a major waste of time and bloated garbage on my computer.

Super Utilites offers to support to its customers despite multiple attempts at contact.

Summary

I bought the "Golden Pass" for unlimited updates for Super Utilities for $120. The program "expired" at the end of 90 days despite my purchase. I attempted to contact Super Utilites multiple times to either get a refund or a new program registration (because reinstalls failed), but never got an answer. Do not buy this program - you will waste less time just burning your money.

This vendor uses deceptive practices to get your money. They claim to have a money back guarantee but will not honor it.

Summary

I made the mistake of purchasing an application from Superlogix ... when problems with the software arose I contacted their support and received nothing but promises. Despite claims of "Risk free purchase" they would not make a refund. I should have known from the start that this was a disreputable vendor when responses to my emails were from Terry Backer using a GMail account. Stay far away from this fraudware vendor!

It has a lot of features in one program, and I don't need to install hundred of diffrent programs and let them start when windows starts. If I were to buy all these utilities separately it would have cost hundreds of dollars. I decided to register because it is an excellent product at a fair price!!

Honestly, I found it close to futile. The malware cleaner is an mimic of SpywareDoctor but just cut down with less signatures and a faster scan time. Use CCleaner as a substitute for the temp, cache cleaners! Use anti-malware such as AVG, Spybot-SD, and SpywareBlaster. Winpatrol as startup- manager!

Cons

I don't understand why people would pay $60 USD just for that. Combine and utilize all other software like the ones above. That is both utilities and a line of defense!
